Chapter 1401 Xin Zijuan’s parents have shortcomings (fourth update, please vote!)
"By the way, those people also want what we want, and everyone is waiting for an opportunity." Qi Yongtai said leisurely: "We have our knowledge, and they also have their judgment, but no one will say anything, and this kind of No one will admit the matter until it is revealed or made clear, and you can’t even bring it to the table to talk about it. This seems to be a dead end..."
Feng Ziying was silent. It is true that even Emperor Yonglong was afraid of the rat. He was not absolutely sure, or worried that it might cause irreparable damage, and would rather adopt a delaying strategy, because delaying it would obviously be more beneficial to him, but only if his body could bear it. Live.
But can Emperor Yonglong's body be able to hold on forever?
Will Prince Yoshitaka continue to delay this?
These are all variables.
Feng Ziying was never willing to place his hopes and fate on such variables. According to his idea, the court, or the Northern scholars, should not react passively like this, but should take the initiative, even if they end up bearing some responsibility for the crime. Better than doing nothing and ending up at a loss.
Perhaps the imperial court also made some preparations in this regard, such as some arrangements for the Sixth Department in Nanjing, but Feng Ziying felt that this was far from enough.
Like Huaiyang Town, if it really cannot be stopped, then the court must firmly control the formation of the entire Huaiyang Army. However, at this point, Feng Ziying feels that the Ministry of War has not firmly grasped it, but adheres to the cabinet's intentions and is willing to Find compromise in it.
Not in his position, nor in his political affairs. When Feng Ziying came out of Qi Yongtai's house, he could only keep repeating these words to comfort himself, but he still couldn't let go.
When the situation really deteriorates, who can be alone? As the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, I am afraid that I will face a worse situation, and of course he is not willing to sit back and wait for death.
However, Qi Shi is still constrained by morality or the consistency and continuity of the cabinet's policies, and is unwilling to make too many accusations and arguments to change the cabinet's established strategy. This approach of taking the overall situation into consideration is sometimes necessary in Feng Ziying's opinion, but Sometimes it seems too pale.
What can you do? Feng Ziying is not willing to make the situation he is most worried about actually happen, both in public and private matters. However, when he cannot prevent it, he has to make some arrangements both in public and private matters. He has already made some arrangements before, but it is not enough. .
Looking at the endless flow of people on the street, the guys in the shops are using their last leisure time to chat and laugh. Some have begun to close their doors. The drivers driving the carriages, the vendors carrying stalls, the entertainers who are looking for a suitable place to set up a night market, and Idle people are busy going out to have a drink, everything is so harmonious and peaceful...
The sky was gradually getting dark, but it still failed to calm the capital city. Perhaps the hidden worries of the prosperous age were best reflected at this moment. Feng Ziying felt that she could not sit back and watch.
Shen Yixiu, Baochai, Baoqin and others all clearly felt that her husband was not in a good mood these two days, and he looked a bit depressed. It was obviously related to official duties.
When he was appointed as the Prime Minister of Shuntian at the age of twenty, you can imagine how great the pressure was, especially since his resume was not rich and the princes in the court had high expectations for him.
Going out early and coming back late every day, coming and going in a hurry, maybe the only time he can relax is when he returns home and takes a bath. Realizing this, Shen Yixiu and Baochai Baoqin are trying their best to fulfill their responsibilities as wives and try their best to do their best. Give your husband a warm and comfortable atmosphere when he comes home, so that he can relax as much as possible.
After dinner, Feng Ziying was leaning on the kang. Yun Shang knelt behind him and massaged his shoulders and neck. Her head was resting on the beauty's arms. The fragrance was fragrant. Feng Ziying's eyes were half-closed. When she heard footsteps coming in, she opened her eyes. , but saw that it was Eryou who accompanied Shen Yixiu in, and Qingwen followed behind with her daughter in her arms.
"My husband is at ease. I will take a rest tomorrow. What arrangements do you have for me?" Shen Yixiu sat down at the other end of the kang table.
"Oh? What are Wan Jun's plans?" Feng Ziying also thought that it had been a long time since she had gone out. In the early summer, the weather in Beijing was just right, neither cold nor hot. It was a good time to go out. A group of wives and concubines were in the yard all day long. Here, I am indeed a little depressed. I am busy with official duties and have neglected to pay attention to them.
"I just went to talk to my two sisters Baochai and Baoqin. They also want to go out with my husband for an outing to relax. It depends on my husband's interest." Shen Yixiu carefully observed the expression between her husband's brows, " If my husband is interested, tomorrow we as a family can go out and visit Haichao Nunnery next to Xunhe Factory. The scenery of Haichao Nunnery is elegant and has been praised by literati, and I heard that the surrounding mountains are full of green and the scenery is beautiful. ,…”
Feng Ziying thought about it for a while. Although the masters in the Rongguo Mansion, such as Jia She and Jia Zheng, rarely went out to play, or basically did not go out with their families, people like Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu still went out with Jia Mu from time to time. Of course, this is more like the younger generation accompanying their elders when going out.
Looking at Shen Yixiu's expectant eyes, Feng Ziying certainly wouldn't refuse. It was a rare break, and his wives and concubines were all interested. Of course he wouldn't disappoint, so he simply called his mother and aunt, and the whole family went out for a walk and a rest. Fan.
“Second and third sisters also want to go?” Feng Ziying glanced at Second Sister You and Third Sister You, who had been accompanying Shen Yixiu, and asked.
"Yeah." Second Sister You nodded, but Third Sister You didn't care. Anyway, except for Feng Ziying who was in the Yamen, whenever possible, she would find a way to accompany her when she went out, such as to other prefectures and counties, of course not in the capital city.
During this period, Second Sister You has been somewhat neglected.
After the eldest and second wives separated, Second Sister You only had a short period of happiness, which was more than a month when she returned to Yongping Mansion. After returning to the capital city, Shen Yixiu had not yet recovered, so she could only dote on the queen. But after three or four months, Shen Yixiu recovered, so he had to follow the rules.
Because the eldest and second bedrooms are arranged according to odd and even numbers, Feng Ziying rests in the eldest bedroom when she is single, and in the second bedroom when she is in pairs. The second sister You is less likely to be favored.
However, Feng Ziying still liked Second Sister You's docility and courtesy. Occasionally, he could go to her room to take a nap during the afternoon. This was considered a secret of Second Sister You, and it helped Second Sister You recover a lot from her somewhat lost mood.
"Then let's all go, call my mother and aunt, and let the whole family have a good rest." Feng Ziying promised generously: "I promised you, I have to fulfill it once, so as not to always say that I broke my promise and got fat in the future. .”
"My husband, please don't say that. Everything should be done with your official duties first." Shen Yixiu shook his head, "Actually, my sisters are doing well at home. They have nothing to do, such as drawing, writing, kicking shuttlecock, throwing pots, playing chess, etc. There is mahjong invented by my husband. Now the two sisters Baochai and Baoqin have come over. After lunch break, we can play a game if we have nothing to do. Baochai and Baoqin are very good, but I need a helper. The second sister is too much. honest,…"
Feng Ziying was very interested and looked at Second Sister You: "Why is Second Sister not good at this?"
Second Sister You was also quite ashamed, her fair and plump face flushed to her ears, "I am stupid and can't remember the cards. Every time I go to play mahjong with my sister, I always lose, which ruins my sister's reputation..."
Feng Ziying couldn't help clasping her hands and laughing, "Second sister, what you said is a bit funny. It's not a skill. It's just gambling for fun. If you blindly judge heroes based on winning or losing, you will be inferior."
"My husband is right, but now that we have sat at the table, no one wants to be the loser. Money is a small matter, and everyone still has a winning mentality. It's enough once or twice, but if you always lose, you must feel sad in your heart. Not happy,..." Shen Yixiu also laughed, "The second sister is too honest. The two sisters Baochai and Baoqin, especially the younger sister Baoqin, are easy to follow, and the second sister is easy to follow,..."
This is true. When playing cards, one needs to be able to hold the top of the mountain without losing color. Second Sister You is a concubine herself, slightly lower in status, and cannot be compared with the others financially. If she cares too much about winning or losing, she will inevitably do something like this. In color, if you get a good card, you will smile, and if you get a bad card, you will sigh. Naturally, others will see what is going on. Although it is mainly based on luck, it will also show up over time.
"Well, the second sister should do the opposite next time. When she gets good cards, she will frown and sigh. When she gets bad cards, she will look around with her head high and aggressive. In this way, they will be fooled by keeping Baochai and Baoqin..." Feng Ziying laughed. I want to give you some advice for Sister You.
"This is a bad idea. If the second sister can change her expression like this, then why does it matter?" Third Sister You smiled and shook her head: "My sister is destined to lose money..."
Hearing his sister teasing him, Second Sister You was not happy, "Third Sister, you are not much better than me. I see you have fought a few times, haven't you all lost?"
"That's because I didn't pay attention,..." Sanjie You said to herself, "If I really pay attention, I don't know who will win."
The room was full of laughter and laughter, which woke up Feng Qiwu, who had already fallen asleep, and started crying.
Qingwen quickly hugged the little girl and coaxed her to sleep, but she couldn't do anything for a while. Yun Shang got out of bed, took her over, and coaxed her up. The little girl actually stopped crying and chirped a few times and fell asleep. Feng Ziying was surprised. I was very surprised, I didn't expect Yun Shang to have such ability.
"Don't you know, sir? This girl likes Yun Shang the most. She always falls asleep the fastest when Yun Shang is held in her arms. As long as Yun Shang is with her at night, everyone can sleep peacefully." Shen Yixiu couldn't help praising Yun Shang.
Lao Rui is still working hard, brothers, spend more money!
